From the raffle thread.....
It appears as if someone has ratted out our raffle to Paypal. This forum is now closed to non-members.

Could be. Or, like I said, paypal could have done a quick google search. bprescot @ gmail.com (my paypal account) + Raffle would do the trick nicely 
It's a donation, what's their problem?
So it appears that PP was alerted to this because of Ben receiving a bunch of $5 payments with some titled "ticket", etc. His account has been shut down.

Doh! :doublebanghead: That sucks!
What other method would there be for doing something like this with the exception of a third party already having merchant status?

Well, there's always snail mail and the honor system... Not sure. If this doesn't work out, I'll obviously be refunding all tickets, though because paypal is suspended, I'll likely have to use the postal service.

Merchant status alone does not solve the problem. Raffles for profit are illegal in most states (the state run lottery being a giant exception), so thats why paypal cracks down on these.
are there any states that do allow Raffles for Profit? maybe a trusted member there can help the process, while not entirely efficient it may keep the raffle alive.
I (while not yet trusted...but hopefully will be one day!) would volunteer but after reading the canadian law books for sometime have found out that it can not be done from us up north.
Perhaps a trusted european or state-allowed member can be a middle man in the process?

It's easy for paypal to use software that automatically filters all the subjects and messages for key words and and alerts their computers of likely raffles. It could be a human or computer verifying the source and suspending an account.
Most likely it's as simple as paypal using the recipients e-mail addresses to find and suspend the account.
Yeah after considering the situation a bit more I believe that's probably the case.
We're talking about ways to work this out.
